FAQ
Everything you need to know about MVP development with Kumquat
Freelancers charge hourly with unpredictable costs and timelines. We offer fixed pricing, dedicated team, weekly demos, and we own the delivery risk. You know exactly what you're paying upfront, and we handle all coordination, QA, and project management.
All packages include 30 days of bug fixes and support post-launch. After that, you can hire us for maintenance retainers (starting at $2k/month) or one-off feature sprints. Many clients keep us on retainer as their technical partner.
100% yes. You own all source code, designs, and assets. We transfer everything to your GitHub/Figma accounts on delivery. No strings attached, no licensing fees.
We spend extra time upfront defining scope clearly in our proposal. Any new features outside the original scope become a separate project or change order. This protects both of us and keeps timelines predictable.
Next.js, React, TypeScript for frontend. Supabase or Firebase for backend/database. Tailwind for styling. Vercel for hosting. This modern stack is fast to develop, easy to maintain, and scales well. We can adapt to your needs if you have specific requirements.
Absolutely! Most of our clients are non-technical founders. We explain everything in plain English, guide you through decisions, and handle all the technical complexity. That's literally why we exist.
Yes, we're happy to sign your NDA before any detailed discussions. We take confidentiality seriously and have signed NDAs with all our clients.
Perfect! That's our sweet spot. We help you refine your idea, prioritize features, and create a clear roadmap during our discovery process. You don't need specs—just a vision and problem you're solving.
We need about 2-3 hours per week from you: a 30-min weekly demo, async feedback on designs/features, and quick decisions when needed. We handle everything else and keep you in the loop.
You get weekly demos and access to a staging environment throughout. No surprises at the end—you see progress every single week and can give feedback as we build.
